The Largest Annual International Competition in American Football

The International Bowl is a collaboration of USA Football and football governing bodies in each, competing country.

Each International Bowl features a series of practices, team activities, scrimmages and games for four high-school aged U.S. National Teams as well as U.S. Select Teams.

U.S. coaches and rosters will be announced throughout November and December. International rosters will be announced in the coming months.

The NCAA recognizes USA Football’s International Bowl as a national team competition. Playing for the United States in the International Bowl is exempt from high school seniors’ two all-star game appearances.
